Beginner: How to save a file on a remote unit

Hi guys, sorry for what is likely a basic question, but I can’t find the answer, or question for that matter.

I’m dialling my brothers remote mikrotik, then MAC Telnetting to his single mikrotik AP.
I’ve done a back up of the AP’s config and I want to download it to my PC but can’t figure out how to get the file from there to here.

I’ve done export file=filename but god knows where the file went.

File is located under files.
Can be retrieved via winbox, ftp or scp connection.
Think is unfetchable via mac connection.

Just out of curiosity:
Why MAC-Telnet? Doesn’t his AP have an IP address?
If accessible via IP from the remote Mikrotik you could get it on the remote MT device with
/tool fetch address= src-path=filename.backup dst-path=filneameofyourchoice mode=ftp user=adminofremoteAP password=adminpassword

If you’re using Winbox to your brother’s MT you can then get it via the Files window.
Or you could email it from there…
Or via SCP…
Or via FTP…

:wink:
